9.04 release time??

[Odd_sam]

As many of us know the newest release of Ubuntu comes out Thursday, but I was curious what time of the day on Thursday?

[Ravernomina]

i think right on midnight :o

[Noise...]

When will the 9.04 live CD's begin shipping? For example, if I put in to get a Live CD tonight, would I get 9.04, or would they still just ship 8.10?

Hi Noise,

Looks like orders for Jaunty are open now:

https://shipit.ubuntu.com/

All the best,

Andrew

[Odd_sam]

thanks

Thanks a lot. Out of curiosity, does it really take 10 weeks for the disk to arrive, or is that more of a "worst case scenario" wait?

It usually takes about 6 weeks for me but I usually angle for about 12 cds :-).

The last time I waited, I had to wait until the morning of the day it was supposed to released.

[thraxsa]

i think right on midnight :o

I'm like a kid at christmas night : )

[vishnumrao]

i think right on midnight :o

Midnight? Midnight at which time zone?

[greentico]

I remember when Intrepid came out. I too thought it would be midnight zulu time (UK) which would be around 7pm EST in the US. However, they didn't release it until the next morning :( I feel bad for the Brits and everyone else that has to wait until the afternoon to get it.

But maybe i'm wrong on this one. i know i'll be checking starting at 7/8pm EST.

I thank you for remembering us in all this! Ironically, Europe has more Linux users than America yet releases are timed by American time. So there's some kind of 'Make the masses wait!!!1'

It's cool - as long as it downloads (torrent) relatively fast. I remember downloading Intrepid took about 4 hours... by the time i installed it etc a day later. Sucks!

If you wanted to be cheeky, i suppose you could download the most up-to-date daily build.. but where's the fun in that!

That is not so bad, think of all of the Linux fans in New Zealand...we have to wait for ages before it is released. It is 10:00 23 April here and official US EST is 18:00 22 April, so if they release it at midnight EST then it is only 6 hours away.....however if they wait till the afternoon......well that is tomorrow morning sometime.

[halitech]

I don't think I've noticed any standard time that they do, I think it depends on when they actually get things uploaded and torrents created, etc and when they are ready they put the info live for download.

[nwadams]

so if you know where to look you might be able to get a torrent download a few hours before the official info is posted on the website.

[halitech]

chances are the locations are probably hidden on a server somewhere that even if you knew the location, would not be showing anything due to being hidden.

[TrueDego]

I still have 7.10 on my wifes laptop and Im overly excited about 9.04. They just ended support on 7.10, so this will be my own christmas early. I love how they improved Broadcom support on 8.10 and with each release this just get sooo much better. Anyone got a twitter account that they can message from to announce when the torrent goes live? It would be a big help to the whole community!

I have nothing better to do with my time tomorrow, and within seconds of it going up i'll be tweeting about it on my dailyubuntu twitter account (handy link below ;) )

[gregology]

It's out now on mirrors :D

[greentico]

what mirrors, where!?!

[nwadams]

It's out now on mirrors :D

[ironsight2000]

i think hes messing with us iv look nothing

[nwadams]

ya same, i've looked too. cant find anything

[murderslastcrow]

Man, I'm so excited I'm getting jitters. There are just so many things in this release that me and all the friends I introduced to Ubuntu want. X3 I'm not gonna' be able to fall asleep (working all night anyway).

[dr_pressure]

Damn, still not out and it's officially Thursday 23rd of April 2009 12:14 AM.

Well, here in Australia it's actually 3:14 PM.

I cant wait to install Jaunty on my brand new netbook -- it's useless to me with windows on.

[medorpg]

lol I guess they just prepare

[Keithhed]

get the download, dont hold your breath waiting for the cd

[dr_pressure]

Seconded. I only ever once ordered the CD, it was for hoary hedgehog and by the time it got here breezy badger was out!

It may have gotten lost or something idk, but regardless much better to DL the iso. Plus it's only 700meg, that's nothing!!

[JK3mp]

get the download, dont hold your breath waiting for the cd

Yeah really...why bother with the cd when u can download it in a couple hours max instead of waiting for weeks. (Even on dial up it would be downloaded in a few days ;) )<--an unfortunate personal experience of long ago downloading the full microsoft office on dial up LOL :p

[crewkid89]

For 8.10 it came out sometime in late morning/early afternoon EST so maybe it'll be the same this time? Who actually controls when the final release is available?

[dr_pressure]

6 GIGS DDR2 RAM MEMORY

You do realize that the M on the end of RAM stands for Memory right? Are you also one of those people who talks about "ATM machines" ?

LOL I'm bored and I want my ubuntu

Ahh right. I'll not get my hopes up then.

What I *will* do, is write a script which uses cURL to check the front page every second or so and let me know when it's released :D

[dorkboy321]

Is this the final release version at this site?

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

[bigmonmulgrew]

latest daily build, although considering the date i would guess theres little difference

[vigneshvg]

Believe it or not, my Ubuntu Intrepid install crashed yesterday evening (I had installed it using the Wubi installed, and it fubared the NTFS root disk somehow - I know, I know... I shouldn't have had it on the Wubi install, but the Mrs. needed her Win fix, so I didn't have a choice!). I figured this was an act of fate, trying to tell me to clean up the whole thing and install Jaunty. Now, if only they'd put it up already, so I can download it and get back to work!

Nothing yet - it's 1145 India Standard Time ( =0610 GMT, =0210 EST)...

Vignesh.

[mgranet]

Mrs. needed her Win fix, so I didn't have a choice!)

VirtualBox, if your rig is up to the task.

[nwadams]

hopefully this comes out soon. I need something to do while i finish studying for my final exams

[Vitamin-Carrot]

I find myself hitting the refresh button on ubuntu.com every 30 minutes or so

[xiroV]

I find myself hitting the refresh button on ubuntu.com every 30 minutes or so

I'm worse :p .. I'm like clicking every 10 minutes or so xD

[xiroV]

Well.. Did anyone know what time it will be released? and what timezone?

[dr_pressure]

I'm checking every second, but it's automated so I guess that doesn't count :P

@Vignesh what's the weather like in India?!

[speedwell68]

It is already available through the update manager. But I have 3 PCs to upgrade and would much rather download the ISO. I has been the 23rd for 7 hours and 49 minutes here.

[jemlinus]

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

This link's file names do not include "rc" so these might be them.

[dr_pressure]

As already mentioned, those are the daily builds. It's likely the same, but many of us are waiting for the official release.

[vigneshvg]

@Vignesh what's the weather like in India?!

Well, I live Madras in South India - it's coastal, very humid and hot! The only good thing about this season being the mangoes! w00t!

[fryggy]

I simply just can't wait! Now it's 9:15 AM in Denmark, and there's still no sign of the final release :(

[dr_pressure]

Well, I live Madras in South India - it's coastal, very humid and hot! The only good thing about this season being the mangoes! w00t!

Sounds awesome. I haven't been down to the beach for AGES. Enjoy your mangos you lucky ******* :P

[murderslastcrow]

*gets a mango out of the fridge* Yeah, ours are all old n' stuff.

[murderslastcrow]

Guuuuuu, taking so long. *bites into apple pretending it's Jaunty* Muy delicioso!

[dr_pressure]

Just found out I got a HD for my midsem exam :D :D

Now all I need is for Jaunty to come out and my day will be made :)

[Jags_FL]

Though I'm not sure but as far as I recall Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 were released around noon eastern (US) ??

[murderslastcrow]

Yeh, I'm gonna' go with that one and just wake up surprised at around 3 PM. XD

[gnomeuser]

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

This link's file names do not include "rc" so these might be them.

no, that directory contains daily iso images. It is not the same as the master. It is really close though, however if people use that link tomorrow e.g. they might get a rebuild of Koala - provided the repos open right after the release is done and iso images builds start - normally that doesn't happen right away though.

You could download that and then use the torrent when release happens to check the iso and fetch any changes. That way you would get the iso really quickly at least.

[murderslastcrow]

Well, 9.04 might not be out, but if anyone else got those recent Firefox updates, I'm already noticing an obvious difference in the speed and smoothness of my browser. Doesn't seem to fidget at all when starting up, too.

@_@ Just making me more excited. Too bad I'm getting off my shift and going to bed in about 30 minutes.

[EGOvoruhk]

The torrent IS out: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/
